British Guy Apologises After Shashi Tharoor's Moving Speech About The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre

Looks like our favorite English teacher took a break from educating the masses on Twitter, to share a heart-warming story. I think everyone is very well aware of how outspoken Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is, especially when it comes voicing his opinions about the reality of British colonialism in India.

It's a subject that he's talked about before a lot, and he still keeps doing his best to defend India whenever it's needed.

Yesterday, he shared a little story and it's actually really meaningful. He shared on Twitter that he was invited to tell a 7-minute “true story” at the opening gala of the Auckland Writers Festival, where he ended up telling the true and gruesome story of the Jallianwallah Bagh.

Well, that story is quite emotional in itself and the massacre is one of the biggest examples of terror in colonial India, and it looks like it left quite an impact on the people in the audience, one British-born man in particular.

When selected authors were invited to tell a 7-minute “true story” at the opening gala of the #aucklandwritersfestival, I told the story of Jallianwallah Bagh. An Englishman came up afterwards at the book signing and pressed this note into my hand. pic.twitter.com/TFBUc1GSqD
